A pooled mortgage trust is an investment vehicle that lends investor money to borrowers and consists of a ‘pool’ of loans secured by mortgages over property as the primary security. These funds may be lent for land subdivision purposes or to a borrower undertaking construction and property development. After investing in the Trust, investors usually receive income called a distribution from the interest paid by borrowers, cash and other underlying investments held by the Trust. 

A Loan-to-Valuation Ratio (LVR) is a term used to quantify the lending risk of a mortgage. The LVR is calculated as a percentage of the loan amount, to the appraised value of the asset for which the loan will be used. Typically, loans with higher LVRs are considered higher risk.

All loans approved for inclusion in the Trilogy Monthly Income Trust must be at or under a maximum LVR of 70% of the ‘as if complete’ valuation for property development or construction loans and of the ‘as is’ valuation for all other loans. The value of a property is determined by an external valuation, not necessarily the price paid or advertised price.

Accepting loans on a first registered mortgage basis is a security measure designed to help protect lenders and investors from financial loss. Apart from Government charges, a first registered mortgage has priority over all other liens or claims on a property in the event of default.

The Trilogy Monthly Income Trust is a pooled mortgage investment, providing investors with exposure to returns available through loans secured by first registered mortgages over Australian property. This gives Trilogy the right to take possession of a property and sell it to recover funds should a borrower stop making loan repayments or otherwise fail to honour the terms of a loan agreement.

All of our investment options aim to pay distributions monthly. Investors can expect to receive distributions on or around the eighth business day of each month, given funds are available.

Investors should note that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance and that risks include loss of part or all of your capital, income or diminished returns.

Portfolio diversification is a risk management strategy that allocates investments across various asset classes, locations, industries, and other categories in an attempt to limit exposure to any one particular sector. With any type of investment, there may be periods when some investments don’t perform as expected. Portfolio diversification aims to minimise the impact of any one asset’s under-performance on your portfolio and typically achieves more consistent long-term returns.
